Ivana divorced Trump b/c of Marla.

Post-divorce, Trump squired Marla around his casinos and got her a starring role on Broadway (Tommy Tune's "Will Rogers' Follies).

Marla didn't enjoy being seen as "the other woman" and pressed him to marry her. Trump wasn't in a hurry.

Marla did the classic ploy to force the issue: She got pregnant and even gave birth to Trump's love child. No wedding for more than a year thereafter.

It was close to their wedding day and Trump played Hardball with Marla: I won't marry you without a prenuptial agreement. Marla balked, saying it wasn't necessary as they would be married forever. Trump wouldn't budge. He even told her that he would NEVER marry her without her signature. Capitulating, Marla signed. And they were married.

But in the pre-nup, there was a graduated schedule of settlement. If they were married for five years or less, Marla would only get $2 million. So Trump got out his calendar and waited for nearly five years. And then filed for divorce and let Marla know about it by having her read about it in The New York Daily News. Legally, her hands were tied and she allowed the divorce to go through.
